I'm just recovering from Stevens-Johnson Syndrome. Mine started very suddenly with my lips, eyes, and face swelling horribly. I broke out in huge red welts from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet and itched till I almost went mad for over a week. I'm still on Prednisone for it. I was told I had a light case of it, as if I had had a bad case of it, my mouth and throat would have so many sores I couldn't get anything down. A little girl in our area was in a burn center while I was sick, with a stomach tube for nourishment, as she had a bad case. They say your skin burns from the inside out, blisters up, and slides off in huge patches. I was fortunate that mine only itched, but stayed on. The little girl is home now, but may have permanent eye damage. I have pictures of my face and back made the day mine started, and would email them if I knew how.
